Astaro Drops Its R&D-Led Roadmap

In the past, the company gained a reputation for developing its products “for engineers, by engineers.” However, that way of planning the product roadmap has changed.

Astaro claims “600 new features” in three major releases over the past year — versions 7.2, 7.3, 7.4. The features were chosen based on win/loss analysis and other customer requests — no longer an R&D-led roadmap.

Astaro now uses Commtouch for spam control. For virus control, Astaro has dropped Kaspersky, which it says was too expensive and inaccurate.
